Kforce Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Kforce”) provide professional staffing services and solutions to customers in the following segments: Technology (“Tech”), Finance and Accounting (“FA”), Health Information Management (“HIM”) and Government Solutions (“GS”). Kforce provides flexible staffing services and solutions on both a temporary and full-time basis. Kforce operates through its corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida as well as 6263 field offices located throughout the United States (the “U.S.”). Additionally, one of our subsidiaries, Kforce Global Solutions, Inc. (“Global”), provides information technology outsourcing services internationally through an office in Manila, Philippines. Our international operations comprised approximately 2% of net service revenues for both the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 and are included in our Tech segment.

Kforce serves clients from the Fortune 1000, the Federal Government, state and local governments, local and regional companies and small to mid-sized companies.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Kforce believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, our results of operations and cash flows for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012. The data in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, as presented in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of our customers’ businesses. In addition, we experience an increase in direct costs of services and a corresponding decrease in gross profit in the first fiscal quarter of each year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets. Thus, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References in this document to “Kforce,” “the Company,” “we,” “the Firm,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to the following: accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and any related impairment; stock-based compensation; obligations for pension and postretirement benefit plans; expected annual commission rates; self-insured liabilities for workers’ compensation and health insurance; allowance for doubtful accounts, fallouts and other accounts receivable reserves and accounting for income taxes. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average shares outstanding ~~excludes~~exclude unvested shares of restricted stock (“RS”) and performance-accelerated restricted stock (“PARS”). Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities such as unvested shares of RS and PARS using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive. Weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per common share excludes contingently issuable unvested PARS unless the performance condition has been achieved as of the end of the applicable reporting period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there were 63 shares of common stock excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Given that Kforce had a loss from continuing operations for the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, the ~~calculations~~calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income (loss) ~~income~~ is computed using basic weighted average common shares outstanding. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, there were 33237 and 033 shares, respectively, of common stock excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance regarding the presentation of netting assets and liabilities as a single amount in the statement of financial position to address the difference between GAAP and international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). This guidance is to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Kforce does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued amended guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to perform a qualitative impairment assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. Entities should continue to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment and between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Kforce does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

On March 17, 2012, Kforce entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) to sell all of the issued and outstanding stock of Kforce Clinical Research, Inc. (“KCR”) to inVentiv Health, Inc. (“Purchaser”). On March 31, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Firm closed the sale of KCR to the Purchaser for a total cash purchase price of $50,000, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. On July 2, 2012, Kforce received a payment of $7,335 from the Purchaser to settle this post-closing working capital adjustment.

In connection with the closing of the sale, Kforce entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with the Purchaser to provide certain post-closing transitional services for a period not to exceed 18 months from the Closing Date. The fees for a significant majority of these services have been and will continue to be generally equivalent to Kforce’s ~~cost, while the remainder will be, and additional~~cost. Other services, ~~may~~if necessary, would be provided at negotiated rates.

Although the services provided under the TSA generate continuing cash flows between Kforce and the Purchaser, the amounts are not considered to be direct cash flows of the discontinued operation nor are they significant to the ongoing operations of either entity. Kforce has no contractual ability through the TSA, SPA or any other agreement to significantly influence the operating or financial policies of the Purchaser. As a result, Kforce has no significant continuing involvement in the operations of KCR and, as such, has classified such operating results as discontinued operations.

In accordance with the SPA, Kforce is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser for certain losses, as defined, in excess of $375 although this deductible does not apply to certain losses. Kforce’s obligations under the indemnification provisions of the SPA shall, with the exception of certain items, cease 18 months from the Closing Date and are limited to an aggregate of $5,000 although this cap does not apply to certain losses. While it cannot be certain, Kforce believes any exposure under the indemnification provisions is remote and, as a result, has not recorded a liability as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012.

The financial results of KCR have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following summarizes the results from discontinued operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011:

For comparability purposes, the following table provides the financials results of KCR for fiscal 2011 for each of three months ended:

Included in the gain on sale of discontinued operations are transaction expenses, which primarily include commissions, legal fees and transaction bonuses totaling $2,173. As of December 31, 2011, accounts receivable pertaining to discontinued operations of $13,692 were outstanding, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities pertaining to discontinued operations of $862 were outstanding and accrued payroll costs of $4,698 pertaining to discontinued operations were outstanding. The assets and liabilities pertaining to the discontinued operations of KCR as of the Closing Date were sold to or assumed by the Purchaser. Kforce does not currently anticipate incurring any significant costs related to its discontinued operations beyond costs necessary to service the TSA. Included in direct costs of services and operating expenses within the table above for the three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 are TSA service fees charged to the Purchaser of ~~$726,~~$724 and $1,450, respectively, which were equivalent to our cost. Additionally, in connection with the servicing of the TSA, as of September 30, 2012 approximately $3,131 is due to the Purchaser, net of amounts due to Kforce from the Purchaser, and is classified within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Kforce utilized the cash proceeds from the sale of KCR to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that it entered into on September 20, 2011 with a syndicate led by Bank of America, N.A., and as was amended on March 30, 2012 (the “Credit Facility”).

In connection with the disposition of KCR as described above, the Board exercised its discretion, as permitted within the Kforce Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, to accelerate the vesting, for tax planning purposes, of substantially all of the outstanding and unvested RS, PARS and alternative long-term incentive awards (“ALTI”) effective March 31, 2012. The Firm will recognize a tax benefit from the acceleration of the vesting of RS, PARS and ALTI, which we believe will allow the Firm to maximize the cash proceeds associated with the disposition of KCR. The acceleration resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $31,297, which includes $784 of payroll taxes. This expense has been classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ~~income.~~.

As disclosed in our previous filings with the SEC, Kforce was a defendant in a California class action lawsuit alleging misclassification of California Account Managers and seeking unspecified damages. The tentative settlement referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approved by the California court during the three months ended June 30, 2011 in the amount of $2,526, which is recorded within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance ~~sheets~~sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Consummation of the settlement is subject to resolution of an appeal, which we believe to be without merit, brought by a non-party to the lawsuit.

As disclosed in our previous filings with the SEC, on June 6, 2011, the Chicago District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) issued a Determination on a Charge of Discrimination, brought by an individual in 2006, that reasonable cause exists to believe that Kforce discriminated against two classes of individuals because of their age, and, Kforce and the EEOC were engaged in ~~violation~~conciliation efforts. On September 4, 2012, Kforce and the EEOC agreed upon a settlement payment of $1,675. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Kforce paid $395 of the ~~Age Discrimination~~settlement and paid the remaining amount of $1,280 in ~~Employment Act~~October 2012. A total of 1967. Kforce believes it has meritorious defenses to the EEOC’s allegations. As disclosed in our previous filings with the SEC, the EEOC and Kforce have been participating in ongoing conciliation efforts and Kforce believes that a negotiated resolution is likely. Therefore, we have recorded a liability of $1,550 for the anticipated settlement, which is recorded$1,380 was accrued within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the ~~accompanying~~ unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012. ~~In addition, we have also recognized an asset~~An insurance recovery of approximately $800, which is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012, representing the expected insurance recovery$952 was received by Kforce associated with this loss ~~contingency.~~during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

In the ordinary course of its business, Kforce is from time to time threatened with litigation or named as a defendant in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings. While management does not expect any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to certain inherent uncertainties. Kforce maintains liability insurance in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as management believes is reasonable. The principal liability risks that Kforce insures against are workers’ compensation, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.

Kforce is not aware of any litigation that would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on its unaudited results of operations, its cash flows or its financial condition.

During 2012, Kforce was audited by state taxing authorities for sales, income and gross receipts taxes, which in some cases covered multiple years. Based on all available information as of June 30, 2012 and in consultation with our tax advisors, we believe an assessment by the taxing authorities is probable and have estimated the exposure to be approximately $1,600, which has been accrued and classified in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012. In July 2012, the tax audits were settled for ~~an amount that~~$1,535, which approximated the amount accrued as of June 30, 2012.

Kforce has entered into employment agreements with certain executives that provide for minimum compensation, salary and continuation of certain benefits for a six-month to a three-year period under certain circumstances. Certain of the agreements also provide for a severance payment of one to three times annual salary and one half to three times average annual bonus if such an agreement is terminated without good cause by the employer or for good reason by the employee. These agreements contain certain post-employment restrictive covenants. Kforce’s liability at ~~June~~September 30, 2012 was approximately ~~$61,678~~$60,328 if all of the employees under contract were terminated without good cause by the employer or if the employees resigned for good reason following a change in control. Kforce’s liability at ~~June~~September 30, 2012 was approximately ~~$12,931~~$12,947 if all of the employees under contract were terminated by Kforce without good cause or if the employees resigned for good reason in the absence of a change of control.

Kforce has not recorded any liability related to the employment agreements as no events have occurred that would require payment under the agreements.

On January 3, 2012, Kforce granted to certain executive officers an ALTI as the result of certain performance criteria established in 2011 being met, which was to be initially measured over three tranches having periods of 12, 24, and 36 months. The terms of the grants specified that the ultimate annual payouts will be based on: (a) Kforce’s common stock price changes each year relative to its peer group, or (b) based upon the achievement of other market conditions contained in the terms of the award.

As discussed within Note B “Discontinued Operations,” the Board approved the acceleration of all outstanding and unvested long-term incentives, including the ALTI, effective March 31, 2012. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce recognized total compensation expense related to the ALTI of $0 and $9,805, respectively, which approximated the grant date fair value. The accelerated ALTI of $9,805 was paid in April 2012.

Kforce maintains a foreign defined benefit pension plan for eligible employees of the Philippine branch of Global that is required by Philippine labor law. The plan defines retirement as those employees who have attained the age of 60 and have completed at least five years of credited service. Benefits payable under the plan equate to one-half month’s salary for each year of credited service. Benefits under the plan are paid out as a lump sum to eligible employees at retirement.

The net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 was based upon the actuarial valuation at the beginning of the respective fiscal year. The significant assumptions used by Kforce in the actuarial valuation include the discount rate, the estimated rate of future annual compensation increases and the estimated turnover rate. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the discount rate used to determine the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation and pension expense was 7.4% and 9.9%, respectively. The discount rate was determined based on long-term Philippine government securities yields commensurate with the expected payout of the benefit obligation. The estimated rate of future annual compensation increases as of both December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 5.0%, and was based on historical compensation increases as well as future expectations. Kforce applies a turnover rate to the specific age of each group of employees, which ranges from 20 to 64 years of age. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, net periodic benefit cost was ~~$96~~$86 and ~~$190,~~$276, respectively. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, net periodic benefit cost was ~~$47~~$38 and ~~$98,~~$136, respectively.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the projected benefit obligation associated with our foreign defined benefit pension plan was ~~$1,289~~$1,368 and $1,112, respectively, which is classified in other long-term liabilities.

Kforce maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for the benefit of certain Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). The primary goals of the SERP are to create an additional wealth accumulation opportunity, restore lost qualified pension benefits due to government limitations and retain our NEOs. The SERP is a non-qualified benefit plan and does not include elective deferrals of NEOs’ compensation.

Normal retirement age under the SERP is defined as age 65; however, certain conditions allow for early retirement as early as age 55 or upon a change in control. Vesting under the plan is defined as 100% upon a participant’s attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service and 0% prior to a participant’s attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service. Full vesting also occurs if a participant with five years or more of service is involuntarily terminated by Kforce without cause or upon death, disability or a change in control. The SERP is funded entirely by Kforce, and benefits are taxable to the executive officer upon receipt and deductible by Kforce when paid. Benefits payable under the SERP upon the occurrence of a qualifying distribution event, as defined, are targeted at 45% of the covered executive officers’ average salary and bonus, as defined, from the three years in which the executive officer earned the highest salary and bonus during the last 10 years of employment, which is subject to adjustment for retirement prior to the normal retirement age and the participant’s vesting percentage. The benefits under the SERP are reduced for a participant that has not reached age 62 with 10 years of service or age 55 with 25 years of service with a percentage reduction up to the normal retirement age.

Benefits under the SERP are normally paid based on the lump sum present value but may be paid over the life of the NEO or 10-year annuity, as elected by the NEO upon commencement of participation in the SERP. None of the benefits earned pursuant to the SERP are attributable to services provided prior to the effective date of the plan. For purposes of the measurement of the benefit obligation, Kforce has assumed that all participants will elect to take the lump sum present value option.

The following represents the components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011

Net periodic benefit cost	$	703	$	952	$	1,405	$	1,903	$	703	$	951	$	2,108	$	2,854

The net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 was based upon the actuarial valuation at the beginning of the year, which utilized the assumptions noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There is no requirement for Kforce to fund the SERP and, as a result, no contributions were made to the SERP during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012. Kforce does not currently anticipate funding the SERP during the year ending December 31, 2012.

Kforce maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Health Plan (“SERHP”) to provide postretirement health and welfare benefits to certain executives. The vesting and eligibility requirements mirror that of the SERP, and no advance funding is required by Kforce or the participants. Consistent with the SERP, none of the benefits earned are attributable to services provided prior to the effective date of the plan.

The following represents the components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011

Net periodic benefit cost	$	336	$	95	$	671	$	189	$	335	$	94	$	1,006	$	283

The net periodic post-retirement benefit cost recognized for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 was based upon the actuarial valuation at the beginning of the year, which utilized the assumptions noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In March 2012, Kforce surrendered certain of its Company-owned life insurance policies within its deferred compensation plan having a cash surrender value of approximately $8,037. The proceeds associated with the surrendered policies were reinvested in bond mutual funds and are included in a Rabbi Trust along with the cash surrender value of the Company-owned life insurance policies. Employee distributions are being funded through proceeds from the sale of assets held within the Rabbi Trust. The fair value of the bond mutual funds and the cash surrender value of the Company-owned life insurance policies as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 are recorded in Other assets, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The bond mutual funds are considered to be trading securities. Gains ~~and losses~~ attributable to the investments in bond mutual funds during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 were ~~$125~~$184 and ~~$282,~~$466, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ~~income.~~.

In conjunction with a change in the administrative service provider, life insurance provider and trustee associated with its deferred compensation plans, Kforce surrender certain of its Company-owned life insurance policies that were not eligible for a Section 1035 tax-free exchange in September 2012. These policies had a cash surrender value of approximately $6,250; these proceeds were held in a cash account within the Rabbi Trust as of September 30, 2012.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy and a framework which requires categorizing assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted, quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little, infrequent, or no market activity and reflect management’s own assumptions about inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value.

The underlying investments within Kforce’s deferred compensation plans include bond mutual funds. Assets held within the bond mutual funds are measured on a recurring basis and are recorded at fair value based on each fund’s quoted market value per share in an active market, which is considered a Level 1 input.

Certain assets, in specific circumstances, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs such as goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition would be applicable if one or more of these assets ~~were~~was determined to be impaired. No impairment was recognized on these assets during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

No fair value measurements for recurring or nonrecurring assets existed as of December 31, 2011. In addition, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 assets during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012.

Kforce’s measurements at fair value on a recurring ~~and non-recurring~~ basis as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 were as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2012 Using:								Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2012 Using:

On June 20, 2006, the shareholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that would have been subject to awards under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment upon a change in capitalization, was 3,000. On June 16, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of authorized awards that may be issued under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan from 3,000 to 5,100. On June 25, 2010, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of authorized awards that may be issued under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan from 5,100 to 7,850.

The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), PARS and RS, subject to share availability. Vesting of equity instruments issued under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan is determined on a grant-by-grant basis. Options expire at the end of 10 years from the date of grant, and Kforce issues new shares upon exercise of options. The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 28, 2016. The Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in 2005.

The following table presents the activity under each of the stock incentive plans discussed above for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012:


	Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan			2006 Stock Incentive Plan			Total			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Total Intrinsic Value of Options Exercised		Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan			2006 Stock Incentive Plan			Total			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Total Intrinsic Value of Options Exercised

No compensation expense was recorded during the three or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 or 2011. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation ~~cost related to non-vested options.~~cost.

PARS are periodically granted to certain Kforce executives and are generally based on the extent by which annual long-term incentive performance goals, which are established by Kforce’s Compensation Committee during the first quarter of the year of performance, are certified by the Compensation Committee as having been met. PARS granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 contained a three-year graded vesting provision. However, vesting was to be accelerated if Kforce’s closing stock price exceeded the stock price at the date of grant by a pre-established percentage (which has historically ranged from 40 - 50%) for a period of 10 trading days, or if the Compensation Committee determined that the criteria for acceleration were satisfied.

PARS contain voting rights and are included in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. PARS granted subsequent to September 30, 2009 contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends or dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of restricted stock containing the same vesting provisions as the underlying award. The following table presents the activity for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012:


	# of PARS			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		# of PARS			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2011		2,936		$	14.73		2,936		$	14.73
Granted		250		$	12.76		250		$	12.76

Outstanding as of June 30, 2012		—		$	—
Outstanding as of September 30, 2012							—		$	—

The fair market value of PARS is determined based on the closing stock price of Kforce’s common stock at the date of grant and is amortized over a graded vesting schedule.

As discussed within Note B “Discontinued Operations,” the Board approved the vesting acceleration of substantially all of the outstanding and unvested long-term incentives, including the PARS, effective March 31, 2012. The remaining unvested awards vested 30 days after the Closing Date of the divestiture of KCR. As a result of the acceleration, Kforce accelerated all of the previously unrecognized compensation expense associated with these awards of $20,164 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Kforce recognized total compensation expense related to PARS of $0 and $23,344 during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, Kforce recognized total compensation expense related to PARS of ~~$2,527~~$2,761 and ~~$5,041,~~$7,802, respectively. There was no unrecognized compensation expense attributable to PARS as of September 30, 2012.

RS is periodically granted to certain Kforce executives and is generally based on the extent by which annual long-term incentive performance goals, which are established by Kforce’s Compensation Committee during the first quarter of the year of performance, are certified by the Compensation Committee as having been met. RS granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 had vesting terms of two years.

RS contain voting rights and are included in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. RS granted subsequent to September 30, 2009 contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends or dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of restricted stock containing the same vesting provisions as the underlying award. The following table presents the activity for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012:


	# of RS			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		# of RS			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2011		398		$	11.10		398		$	11.10
Granted		—		$	—		35		$	12.01
Vested		(398	)	$	11.10		(398	)	$	11.10

Outstanding as of June 30, 2012		—		$	—
Outstanding as of September 30, 2012							35		$	12.01

The fair market value of ~~restricted stock~~RS is determined based on the closing stock price of Kforce’s common stock at the date of grant, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period.

As discussed within Note B “Discontinued Operations,” the Board approved the vesting acceleration of substantially all of the outstanding and unvested long-term incentives, including the RS, effective March 31, 2012. As a result, Kforce accelerated all of the previously unrecognized compensation expense associated with these awards of $1,994 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Kforce recognized total compensation expense related to RS of $0$38 and ~~$2,808~~$2,846 during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, Kforce recognized total compensation expense related to RS of ~~$310~~$327 and ~~$617,~~$944, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, total unrecognized compensation expense related to RS was $382, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.82 years.

The following table sets forth the activity in goodwill and other intangible assets during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012:

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, other intangible assets, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of non-compete agreements, trade names, trademarks, customer relationships, customer contracts and customer lists. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trade names and trademarks, amounted to $2,240 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. All of the other intangible assets, net represented less than 5% of total assets.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated amortization for intangible assets was ~~$24,016~~$24,232 and $23,533, respectively. The estimated remaining amortization expense is ~~$424~~$208 for 2012, $747 for 2013, $634 for 2014, $634 for 2015 and $457 for 2016.

As we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Kforce performed its annual impairment assessment of the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2011 for each of our reporting units and concluded that no indicators of impairment existed. The reporting unit that had the narrowest margin between fair value and carrying value was GS. As of March 31, 2012, as part of our customary quarterly procedures, we considered the qualitative and quantitative factors associated with each of our reporting units and determined that there was not an indication that the carrying values of any of our reporting units were likely impaired. As it relates to our GS reporting unit, this assessment took into account the major achievements GS had in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from a business development and contract award standpoint, which was expected to be ~~significantly~~ accretive to 2012 financial results.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our GS reporting unit was adversely impacted by the unexpected significant delays in the start-up of ~~these~~ already executed and funded projects, which we ~~believe are~~believed were due to acute shortages of acquisition and contracting personnel within the contracting Federal Government agencies. ~~As a result of these unexpected delays and other unanticipated factors, revenues for GS declined sequentially in the three months ended June 30, 2012 when it was expected to increase.~~ The continued uncertainty of funding levels of various Federal Government programs and agencies with which GS ~~operates~~operated and the increasingly uncertain macro-economic and political environment resulted in GS electing to forego bidding on certain opportunities ~~and better qualifying opportunities~~ in the second quarter of 2012 in order to focus efforts on contracts that we ~~believe achieve~~believed achieved the right balance between revenue and profitability and ~~are~~were with Federal Government agencies less impacted by Federal budget reductions. Accordingly, due to these factors, in mid-June 2012, we ~~undertook an effort to revise~~revised our projected outlook for the remainder of 2012 and beyond taking into consideration the items above as well as increases in certain operating expenses necessary to support GS on a go-forward basis. ~~As a result,~~Given this, Kforce ~~believes~~believed that a triggering event occurred within our GS reporting unit during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

As a result, Kforce performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its GS reporting unit as of June 30, 2012, which resulted in Kforce recording an estimated impairment charge of $65,300 and a related tax benefit of $23,265 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Kforce has not yet completed the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit due to the timing and complexity of the analysis. Any adjustment to this estimated impairment charge will be recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Due to the lower than anticipated performance of its GS reporting unit in the third quarter of 2012 as well as a reduction in the forecast for the business as a result of a continued shift to a higher quality revenue stream, the widening federal deficits and potential increased risk from sequestration, Kforce believed that a triggering event had occurred for its GS reporting unit as of September 30, 2012. Thus, Kforce performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its GS reporting unit as of September 30, 2012. We compared the carrying value of our GS reporting unit to its estimated fair value based on a weighting of both the income approach and the ~~two market approaches: (i) the~~guideline transaction method. The guideline company method ~~and (ii)~~was not considered in the September 30, 2012 analysis as we believe the guideline transaction ~~method.~~method is more comparable to GS due to recently available transactions in the market.

Discounted cash flows, which serve as the primary basis for the income approach, were based on discrete financial forecasts which were developed by management for planning purposes and were consistent with those distributed within Kforce. Cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period of five years were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporated historical and forecasted financial trends and also considered long-term earnings growth rates for publicly-traded peer companies, as well as the risk-free rate of return. The discrete financial forecast includes certain adjustments of costs that Kforce believes a market participant buyer, such as a large government contractor, would not incur to operate the GS reporting unit. A terminal value growth rate of 3.0% was used for the GS reporting unit. To calculate the fair value for the GS reporting unit, the income approach valuation included the cash flow discount rate, representing the reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital of ~~17.0%~~16.0%. This weighted average cost of capital includes a specific company risk premium of 4%3.0%, ~~an increase from the 3% premium used in the 2011 impairment test,~~ which we believe recognizes the ~~increasingly~~ challenging Federal Government operating environment as well as GS’s forecast risk. The decrease in the weighted average cost of capital from that used in the second quarter impairment test is attributable to a continued shift to a higher quality revenue stream within the forecast period.

As previously mentioned, the market approaches consist of the (i) guideline company method and (ii) guideline transaction method. The guideline company method applies pricing multiples derived from publicly-traded guideline companies that are comparable to the reporting unit to determine its value. The guideline transaction method applies pricing multiples derived from recently completed acquisitions that we believe are reasonably comparable to the reporting unit to determine fair value. To calculate the fair value under the guideline company method, Kforce utilized enterprise value/revenue multiples ranging from 0.28 to 0.61 and enterprise value/EBITDA multiples ranging from 2.9 to 5.4. Additionally, the fair value under the guideline company method included a control premium of 40.0%, which was determined based on a review of comparative market transactions. To calculate fair values under the guideline transaction method, Kforce utilized enterprise value/~~revenue multiples ranging from 0.63 to 0.94 and enterprise value/~~EBITDA multiples ~~ranging from 6.4 to 9.5.~~with a median of 13.7. Kforce ~~assigned a weighting to each of~~used the enterprise value ~~ratios based on~~to EBITDA ratio due to it being the ~~ratio that is predominately~~predominant measure used in the marketplace to value ~~that~~this type of business.

~~Upon completion~~The results of the ~~June~~first step of the goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2012 ~~interim impairment assessment, Kforce determined~~indicated that the fair value of the GS reporting unit ~~was 61% of~~exceeded its carrying ~~value. Because indicators of impairment existed, we commenced~~value; therefore, the second step of the ~~impairment~~ test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for the ~~reporting unit. However, due to the timing and complexity of the analysis, the second step was not completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012. An estimate of the impairment loss for the~~GS reporting unit was ~~measured by~~not required. Kforce determined that the ~~amount the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the implied~~ fair value of our GS reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 5.4%. Although the ~~goodwill. For purposes of estimating an~~interim goodwill impairment ~~charge, Kforce estimated~~analysis for GS utilized assumptions we believe to be reasonable and financial forecasts we believe to be achievable, we performed a sensitivity analysis by independently modifying the ~~value of~~discount rate, long-term growth rate and forecasted operating results. Deterioration in the assumptions noted above could indicate impairment. Management expects to perform its ~~identifiable intangible assets using historical purchase price allocations for its GS acquisitions and current facts and circumstances. Based on this analysis, we have concluded that a loss~~annual impairment test as of June 30, 2012 is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, Kforce recorded an estimated impairment charge of $65,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2012, which is presented separately in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and represents our best estimate of the impairment loss. Any adjustment to this estimated impairment charge will be made in a subsequent reporting period. A tax benefit in the amount of $23,265 was recorded related to the estimated goodwill impairment charge.December 31, 2012.

There was no indication of impairment for our Tech, FA or HIM reporting ~~units.~~units as of September 30, 2012.

The following table contains a disclosure of the gross amount and accumulated estimated impairment losses of goodwill for our GS reporting unit as of December 31, 2011 and ~~June~~September 30, 2012:


	Government Solutions							Government Solutions
	Gross Amount		Accumulated Impairment Losses			Carrying Value		Gross Amount		Accumulated Impairment Losses			Carrying Value

Balance as of September 30, 2012								$	102,641	$	(65,300	)	$	37,341

There was no change in the carrying value of goodwill for the Tech, FA or HIM reporting units since December 31, 2011.

Kforce’s reportable segments are: (i) Tech; (ii) FA; (iii) HIM and (iv) GS. This determination was supported by, among others: the existence of segment presidents responsible for the operations of each segment and who also report directly to our chief operating decision maker, the nature of the segment’s operations and information presented to the Board of Directors. Kforce also reports Flexible billings and Search fees separately by segment, which has been incorporated into the table below.

Historically, and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce has generated only sales and gross profit information on a segment basis. Substantially all operations and long-lived assets are located in the United States.

The following table has been updated to reflect the disposition of KCR. As described in Note B “Discontinued Operations,” all revenues and gross profit associated with the discontinued operation have been recorded within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ~~income.~~. The following table provides information concerning the ~~continuing~~ operations of our segments for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Kforce Inc., our operations, and our present business environment. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Report on Form 10-Q.

On March 31, 2012, Kforce sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of KCR. See Note B – “Discontinued Operations” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion. The results presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) ~~Income~~ for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 include activity relating to KCR as discontinued operations. Except as specifically noted, our discussions below exclude any activity related to KCR, which is addressed separately in the discussion of income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

The following is an executive summary of what Kforce believes are important results as of and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, which should be considered in the context of the additional discussions herein and in conjunction with its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe such highlights are as follows:

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Please refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

See the “New Accounting Standards” section within Note A,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion.

Net service revenues for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 were ~~$274.1~~$270.2 million and ~~$542.5~~$812.6 million, respectively, which represents an increase of ~~10.5%~~3.5% and ~~12.0%~~9.0%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2011. These increases were primarily due to our Tech (which represents approximately ~~62%~~63% of our total net service revenues) and FA segments (which represents approximately ~~23%~~22% of our net service revenues), which had year-over-year increases in net service revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 of ~~11.1%~~3.1% and ~~11.1%~~8.2%, respectively, and ~~13.3%~~9.7% and ~~11.5%~~10.4%, respectively, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, net service revenues for HIM increased ~~19.1%~~4.5% and ~~20.3%~~14.9%, respectively, while our GS segment declined ~~1.8%~~5.0% and ~~1.7%~~2.8%, respectively, in net service revenues over the comparable periods in 2011. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Search revenues increased ~~10.4%~~6.6% and ~~11.3%~~9.7%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2011.

Flex gross profit margin increased 7040 basis points to ~~29.3%~~29.6% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 as compared to ~~28.6%~~29.2% for the comparable period in 2011, and increased 30 basis points to ~~28.2%~~28.7% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 as compared to ~~27.9%~~28.4% for the comparable period in 2011. These increases in flex gross profit margins were primarily driven by an increase in the spread between bill rates and pay rates. Flex gross profit margin increased sequentially ~~220~~30 basis points for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2012. This increase was~~2012 primarily ~~driven by~~as a result of an improvement in the spread between our bill ~~rates~~ and pay rates primarily in our Tech segment and ~~lower~~a decrease in statutory payroll taxes during the second quarter of 2012 primarily due, in part, to individuals reaching maximum withholding levels. The sequential improvement in Flex gross profit margin was also related to an accrual in the three months ended March 31, 2012 related to audits by state taxing authorities, which negatively impacted Flex gross profit margin by 50 basis points.taxes. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net service revenues were ~~26.1%~~26.0% and ~~33.1%~~30.8% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to ~~27.6% and 27.2%~~27.3% for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2011, respectively.~~2011. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net service revenues during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 was primarily the result of the acceleration of substantially all of the outstanding and unvested PARS, RS and ALTI awards on March 31, 2012, which resulted in the recognition of incremental compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $31.3 million, including payroll taxes.

Additionally, during the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce recorded an estimated goodwill impairment charge in the amount of $65.3 million related to our GS reporting ~~unit.~~unit (although no further impairment occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012). The goodwill impairment charge was the result of the unexpected adverse effect of the ~~increasingly~~unexpected significant delays in the start-up of already executed and funded projects which we believe are due to acute shortages of acquisition and contracting personnel within certain Federal Government agencies, uncertainty of funding levels of various Federal Government programs and agencies and the increasingly uncertain macro-economic and political environment. All of these largely unanticipated factors have had an adverse effect on GS operations and forecasted cash flows, its enterprise value as well as overall equity values in the GS sector.

From an economic standpoint, temporary employment figures and trends are important indicators of staffing demand, which continue to improve during 2012 on a sequential basis based on data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). The penetration rate (the percentage of temporary staffing to total employment) ~~improved to~~remained flat at 1.9% in ~~June~~September 2012 ~~from March~~as compared to June 2012. Economic forecasters estimate that the penetration rate could surpass the prior peak of 2.03% reached in April ~~2000 by 2016.~~2000. While non-farm payroll expanded by ~~80,000~~114,000 jobs in ~~March~~September 2012 and has remained positive for 2124 consecutive months through ~~June~~September 2012, we believe the macro-employment picture continues to be relatively weak with the unemployment rate at ~~8.2%~~7.8% as of ~~June~~September 2012. If the penetration rate of temporary staffing continues to experience growth in the coming years, we believe that our Flex revenues can grow ~~significantly~~ even in a relatively modest growth macro-economic environment. Management remains cautiously optimistic about the growth prospects of the temporary staffing industry, the penetration rate and in particular our revenue portfolio.

Over the last few years, we have undertaken several significant initiatives including: (i) further developing and optimizing our National Recruiting Center (“NRC”) and Strategic Accounts teams in support of our field operations; (ii) restructuring both our back office and field operations under our Shared Services program, which focuses on process improvement, centralization, technology infrastructure and outsourcing; (iii) upgrading our corporate systems (primarily our front-end systems) with a focus ~~in 2011~~ on job order prioritization and (iv) making other technology investments designed to increase the performance of our corporate and field associates. We believe that these investments have increased our operating efficiency, enabling us to be more responsive to our clients and have provided a better operating platform to support our expected future growth. We believe our field operations model, which allows us to deliver our service offerings in a disciplined and consistent manner across all geographies and business lines, as well as our highly centralized back office operations, are competitive advantages and keys to our future growth and profitability. We also believe that our diversified portfolio of service offerings, which are primarily in the U.S., will also be a key contributor to our long-term financial stability.

Flex Revenues.The primary drivers of Flex revenues are the number of consultant hours worked, the consultant bill rate per hour and, to a limited extent, the amount of billable expenses incurred by Kforce. Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of our clients’ businesses. For ~~both~~ the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 63 and 64 billing ~~days.~~days, respectively.

Flex revenues for our largest segment, Tech, have been ~~particularly~~ strong compared to previous economic recoveries, which we believe is primarily a result of candidate skill sets that are in demand, our great people and our operating model as well as overall macro-economic and political uncertainties which make Flex staffing increasingly attractive. We believe that our operating model allows us to deliver our service offerings in a disciplined and consistent manner across all geographies and business lines resulting in an increase in Tech Flex revenues of ~~10.7%~~3.2% and ~~12.8%~~9.4% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. This operating model includes our NRC, which we believe has been highly effective in increasing the quality and speed of delivery of services to our clients, particularly our Strategic Accounts. Year-over-year growth rates in Tech have decelerated each quarter during 2012, which we believe reflects the uncertain economic outlook. We also believe that a higher rate of conversions of our flex consultants to permanent employees of our clients is impacting our year-over-year growth rates. Despite this, we believe the demand for Tech going into 2013 continues to be positive. As such, we anticipate continuing to selectively invest in the headcount necessary to capture this demand. Additionally, within our Tech segment, we expect to see continued growth infor the remainder of 2012 ~~within our Tech segment.~~both sequentially on a billing day basis and as compared to 2011.

Our FA segment experienced an increase in Flex revenues of ~~12.7%~~7.5% and ~~13.4%~~11.5% during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to same periods in 2011. According to a Staffing Industry Analysts report, the overall finance and accounting segment is expected to experience a deceleration of growth to 8% in 2012 from 10% in 2011. Consistent with Tech, we believe that the success of our FA segment has been enabled by our NRC, which has been particularly effective in meeting the demand of our Strategic Accounts. Year-over-year growth rates in Tech have decelerated each quarter during 2012, which we believe reflects the uncertain economic outlook. We believe the demand for Tech going into 2013 continues to be good. As such, we anticipate continuing to selectively invest in the headcount necessary to capture this demand. Additionally, within our FA segment, we expect to see continued growth infor the remainder of 2012 ~~within our FA segment.~~on a sequential billing day basis.

Net service revenues for HIM increased ~~19.1%~~4.5% and ~~20.3%~~14.9% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011. ~~Net~~While net service revenues for HIM ~~experienced continued~~had been experiencing accelerating growth through the second quarter of 2012 as hospital census and spending continued to ~~increase. However,~~increase, net service revenues declined on a sequential basis in the third quarter due primarily to the ~~expected~~ completion of a few large projects ~~we expect to see overall revenues to decline in~~at the ~~third~~end of the second quarter of 2012. ~~We expect the~~The declines in revenues associated with the completion of the large projects ~~to be~~have been partially offset by revenues generated from requirements and deadlines related to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th edition (“ICD-10”) conversion and electronic health records implementation. On February 16, 2012, the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) announced that the Federal Government will delay the implementation date for the ICD-10 diagnostic and procedural coding system for an unspecified period of ~~time,~~time. However, on August 24, 2012, the DHHS published a required implementation date of October 1, 2014 for compliance with ICD-10, which ~~we do not~~is expected to assist in the growth of net service revenues during 2013. We expect ~~will have a material adverse effect on HIM.~~to see continued growth in 2012 within our HIM segment both sequentially and as compared to 2011.

Our GS segment experienced a decrease of ~~1.8%~~5.0% and ~~1.7%~~2.8% in net service revenues for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in 2011. We believe this decline is primarily a result of the unexpected significant delays in the start-up of already executed and funded projects which we believe are due to acute shortages of acquisition and contracting personnel within certain Federal Government agencies, uncertainty of funding levels of various Federal Government programs and agencies and the increasingly uncertain macro-economic and political environment. When combined with the repositioning of our GS segment, continued shift in customer focus and our expected increased revenues over the second half of 2012 as compared to 2011, we believe our net service revenues will ~~overall~~ be flat overall for 2012 as compared to 2011. Management remains cautiously optimistic as it cannot predict the outcome of the widening federal deficits and past, current and future efforts to reduce federal spending through sequestration and whether these efforts will materially impact the budgets of federal agencies that are clients of our GS segment; however, we continue to believe in the long-term prospects of our GS segment and believe this unit has strong growth prospects going forward.

The changes in billable expenses, which are included as a component of net services revenues, are primarily attributable to increases or decreases in project work.

Search Fees.The primary drivers of Search fees are the number of placements and the average placement fee. Search fees also include conversion revenues (conversions occur when consultants initially assigned to a client on a temporary basis are later converted to a permanent placement). Our GS segment does not make permanent placements.

Search revenues increased ~~10.4%~~6.6% and ~~11.3%~~9.7% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011 and ~~increased 19.9% sequentially.~~decreased 6.3% sequentially as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. We believe the increase over the prior year ~~and sequentially~~ reflects clients who are continuing to selectively rebuild staff after significant reductions during the most recent economic recession. While Search revenue is difficult to predict, we expect this trend may stabilize in the near ~~term.~~term on a sequential basis.

Gross Profit.Gross profit on Flex billings is determined by deducting the direct cost of services (primarily flexible personnel payroll wages, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance, and subcontractor costs) from net Flex service revenues. In addition, consistent with industry practices, gross profit dollars from Search fees are equal to revenues, because there are generally no direct costs associated with such revenues.

The gross profit percentage for each segment and percentage changes over the prior period were as follows for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:


	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,									Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,

Kforce also monitors the gross profit percentage as a percentage of Flex revenues, which is referred to as the Flex gross profit percentage. This provides management with ~~the necessary~~helpful insight into the other drivers of total gross profit percentage such as changes in volume evidenced by changes in hours billed for Flex and changes in the spread between bill rate and pay rate for Flex.

The increase in Search gross profit for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was ~~$1.2~~$0.8 million, composed of a ~~$0.4~~$0.2 million ~~increase~~decrease in volume and a ~~$0.8~~$1.0 million increase in rate. The increase in Search gross profit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was ~~$2.5~~$3.2 million, composed of a ~~$1.4~~$1.2 million increase in volume and a ~~$1.1~~$2.0 million increase in rate. ~~The sequential net increase in Search gross profit was $2.2 million, composed of a $2.2 million increase in volume.~~

The following table presents, for each segment, the Flex gross profit percentage and percentage change over the prior period for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:

The increase in Flex gross profit for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was ~~$9.0~~$3.5 million, composed of a ~~$7.1~~$2.4 million increase in volume and a ~~$1.9~~$1.1 million increase in rate. The ~~net~~ increase in Flex gross profit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was ~~$17.1~~$20.6 million, composed of ~~a $15.5~~an $18.2 million increase in volume and a ~~$1.6 million increase in rate. The sequential net increase in Flex gross profit was $6.7 million, composed of a $1.0 million increase in volume and a $5.7~~$2.4 million increase in rate.

The Flex gross profit percentage was positively impacted during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 by the improvement in the spread between the bill rates and pay rates which was experienced most significantly by ~~the~~our Tech and FA segments. These increases were partially offset by higher statutory payroll taxes, particularly the increase in unemployment taxes, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and the recording and ultimate settlement of ~~a contingent liability during the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $1.6 million related to~~ sales, income and gross receipts tax ~~audits.~~audits in the amount of $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Payroll taxes, particularly unemployment taxes, are highest in the first quarter of the year because employees have not yet earned sufficient wages to exceed the basis on which taxes are payable, have risen in recent years and may continue to rise and negatively impact Flex gross profit. A continued focus for Kforce is to continue to optimize the spread between bill rates and pay rates by providing our associates with tools, economic knowledge and defined programs to drive improvement in the effectiveness of our pricing strategy around the staffing services we provide. We believe this strategy will serve to balance the desire for optimal volume, rate, effort and duration of assignment, while ultimately maximizing the benefit for our clients, our consultants and Kforce. We anticipate that Flex gross profit margins in 2012 will ~~expand during the remainder~~exceed those of ~~2012 as compared to~~ 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”).For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, total commissions, compensation, payroll taxes, and benefit costs as a percentage of SG&A represented ~~84.4%~~85.4% and ~~87.4%~~86.8%, respectively, as compared to ~~87.1% and 87.4%~~87.3% for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2011, respectively.~~2011. Commissions and related payroll taxes and benefit costs are variable costs driven primarily by revenue and gross profit levels, and associated performance. Therefore, as gross profit levels change, these expenses would also generally be anticipated to change but remain relatively consistent as a percentage of revenues.

The following table presents these components of SG&A along with an “other” caption, which includes bad debt expense, lease expense, professional fees, travel, telephone, computer and certain other expenses, as an absolute amount and as a percentage of total net service revenues for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:


*(in $000’s)*	2012		% of Revenues			2011		% of Revenues
Three Months Ended September 30:
Compensation, commissions, payroll taxes and benefits costs	$	60,116		22.2	%	$	62,170		23.8	%
Other		10,251		3.8			9,074		3.5

Total SG&A	$	70,367		26.0	%	$	71,244		27.3	%

Nine Months Ended September 30:
Compensation, commissions, payroll taxes and benefits costs	$	216,935		26.7	%	$	177,492		23.8	%
Other		32,961		4.1			25,731		3.5

Total SG&A	$	249,896		30.8	%	$	203,223		27.3	%

SG&A as a percentage of net service revenues decreased ~~150~~130 and increased ~~590~~350 basis points for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, the net decrease was primarily attributable to the following:

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, the net increase was primarily attributable to the following:

Goodwill Impairment.As discussed above, our GS segment’s operations have been adversely impacted by the unexpected significant delays in the start-up of already executed and funded projects which we believe are due to acute shortages of acquisition and contracting personnel within certain Federal Government agencies. ~~As a result of these unexpected delays and other unanticipated factors, revenues for GS declined sequentially in the three months ended June 30, 2012 when it was expected to increase.~~ The continued uncertainty of funding levels of various Federal Government programs and agencies with which GS operates and the increasingly uncertain macro-economic and political environment resulted in GS electing to forego bidding on certain ~~opportunities and better qualifying~~ opportunities in the second quarter of 2012 in order to focus efforts on contracts that we believe achieve the right balance between revenue and profitability and are with Federal Government agencies less impacted by Federal budget reductions. Accordingly, due to these factors, in mid-June 2012, we undertook an effort to revise our projected outlook for the remainder of 2012 and beyond taking into consideration the items above as well as increases in certain operating expenses necessary to support GS on a go-forward basis. Given this, Kforce believed that a triggering event occurred within our GS reporting unit during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. As a result, Kforce performed an interim goodwill impairment ~~analysis~~test for ~~the~~its GS reporting unit as of June 30, 2012, which resulted in Kforce recording an estimated impairment charge of approximately $65.3 million and ~~determined that~~a related tax benefit of approximately $23.3 million during the ~~fair value of the GS reporting unit was 61% of its carrying value. Because indicators of impairment existed, we commenced~~three months ended June 30, 2012. Kforce has not yet completed the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting ~~unit. However,~~unit due to the timing and complexity of the analysis, the second step was not completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012. An estimate of the impairment loss for the reporting unit was measured by the amount the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill. For purposes of estimating an impairment charge, Kforce estimated the value of its identifiable intangible assets using historical purchase price allocations for its GS acquisitions and current facts and circumstances. Based on this analysis, Kforce recorded an estimated impairment charge of $65.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and represents our best estimate of the impairment loss.analysis. Any adjustment to this estimated impairment charge will be ~~made~~recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Due to the lower than anticipated performance of its GS reporting unit in the third quarter of 2012 as well as a ~~subsequent reporting period. The remaining goodwill allocated~~reduction in the forecast for the business as a result of a continued shift to a higher quality revenue stream, the widening federal deficits and potential increased risk of sequestration, Kforce believed that a triggering event had occurred for its GS reporting unit as of ~~June~~September 30, 2012. Thus, Kforce performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its GS reporting unit as of September 30, 2012. The results of the first step of the goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2012 ~~is $37.3 million.~~indicated that the fair value of the GS reporting unit exceeded its carrying value; therefore, the second step of the test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for the GS reporting unit was not required. Kforce determined that the fair value of our GS reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 5.4%. Although the interim goodwill impairment analysis for GS utilized assumptions we believe to be reasonable and financial forecasts we believe to be achievable, we performed a sensitivity analysis by independently modifying the discount rate, long-term growth rate and forecasted operating results. Deterioration in the assumptions noted above could indicate impairment. Management expects to perform its annual impairment test as of December 31, 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization.The following table presents depreciation and amortization expense and percentage changes over the prior period by major category for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:


	Three Months Ended September 30,							Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		Increase (Decrease)			2011		2012		Increase (Decrease)			2011
Fixed asset depreciation	$	969		1.0	%	$	959	$	2,725		(14.8	)%	$	3,200
Capital lease asset depreciation		425		5.5			403		1,267		4.5			1,213
Capitalized software amortization		1,049		(22.9	)		1,361		3,727		(10.5	)		4,165
Intangible asset amortization		216		(24.7	)		287		699		(23.5	)		914

Total depreciation and amortization	$	2,659		(11.7	)%	$	3,010	$	8,418		(11.3	)%	$	9,492

The ~~$0.3 and $0.7~~$0.5 million decrease in fixed asset depreciation during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 2011 and the $0.3 and $0.4 million decrease in Capitalized software amortization during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 2011 is athe result of certain assets and software becoming fully depreciated in ~~2011.~~2012.

Other Expense, Net.Other expense, net was $0.3 million for both the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 ~~respectively,~~ and ~~$0.7 million and $0.6~~$0.9 million for both the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011. Other expense, net consisted primarily of interest expense related to outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) ~~Expense.~~.Income tax expense (benefit) ~~expense~~ as a percentage of income (loss) ~~income~~ from continuing operations before income taxes (our “effective rate”) for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 was ~~(36.9)~~(36.2)% and ~~35.8%~~36.1%, respectively. The change in Kforce’s effective rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was primarily athe result of the partially non-deductible goodwill impairment ~~charge.~~charge which was partially offset by the write-on of certain net operating loss carry-forwards related to historical acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes.Discontinued operations includes the consolidated income and expenses of KCR. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, Kforce completed the sale of KCR resulting in a pre-tax gain, including adjustments, of ~~$36.6~~$36.5 million. Included in the determination of the pre-tax gain is approximately $5.5 million of goodwill for KCR and transaction expenses totaling approximately $2.2 million, which primarily included commissions, legal fees and transaction bonuses.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income from discontinued operations, before income taxes, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 was 45.3% and ~~40.3%~~40.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate of discontinued operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 is primarily related to the non-deductible goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA.Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net income before discontinued operations, non-cash impairment charges, interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and acceleration and amortization of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our past and future financial performance, and this presentation should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate its operations including its ability to generate cash flows and, consequently, management believes this is useful information to investors. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows or other financial statement information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. The measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations. Also, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Some of the items that are excluded also impacted certain balance sheet assets, resulting in all or a portion of an asset being written off without a corresponding recovery of cash we may have previously spent with respect to the asset. In addition, although we excluded stock-based compensation expense (which we expect to continue to incur in the future) because it is a non-cash expense, the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our stockholder ownership interest. We encourage you to evaluate these items and the potential risks of excluding such items when analyzing our financial position.

The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA results and includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011:

To meet our capital and liquidity requirements, we primarily rely on operating cash flow as well as borrowings under our existing Credit Facility. At ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce had ~~$105.4~~$98.2 million in working capital compared to $103.1 million December 31, 2011. Kforce’s current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 2.1 at ~~June~~September 30, 2012 compared to 2.2 at December 31, 2011.

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 provide a more detailed description of our cash flows. Kforce is principally focused on achieving the appropriate balance in the following areas of cash flow: (i) achieving positive cash flow from operating activities; (ii) repurchasing our common stock; (iii) investing in our infrastructure to allow sustainable growth via capital expenditures; and (iv) making strategic acquisitions.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be adequate to meet the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, significant deterioration in the economic environment or market conditions, among other things, could negatively impact operating results and liquidity as well as the ability of our lenders to fund borrowings. There is no assurance that: (i) our lenders will be able to fund our borrowings or (ii) if operations were to deteriorate and additional financing were to become necessary, we would be able to obtain financing in amounts sufficient to meet operating requirements or at terms which are satisfactory and which would allow us to remain competitive.

Actual results could also differ materially from those indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the use of currently available resources for possible acquisitions and possible additional stock repurchases

The following table presents a summary of our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30:


	2012			2011			2012			2011
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	7,706		$	10,878		$	27,843		$	13,920
Investing activities		45,104			(4,618	)		51,424			(6,746	)
Financing activities		(52,937	)		(6,630	)		(74,788	)		(7,204	)

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(127	)	$	(370	)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents							$	4,479		$	(30	)

As was previously discussed, Kforce sold KCR on March 31, 2012. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been presented on a combined basis (continuing operations and discontinued operations). Cash flows provided by discontinued operations for all prior periods, including the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, were provided by operating activities and were not material to the capital resources of Kforce. In addition, the absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to have a significant effect on the future liquidity, financial position, or capital resources of Kforce.

The significant variations in cash provided by operating activities and net income are principally related to adjustments to net income for certain non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation as well as the gain on the sale of discontinued operations and the goodwill impairment charge. These adjustments are more fully detailed in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011. Our largest source of operating cash flows is the collection of trade receivables and our largest use of operating cash flows is the payment of our employee and consultant populations’ compensation, which includes base salary, commissions and bonuses.

Capital expenditures for ~~both~~each of the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012 and 2011 were ~~$2.9~~$4.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which exclude equipment acquired under capital leases. Effective March 31, 2012, Kforce sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of KCR for a purchase price of $50.0 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. On July 2, 2012, Kforce received a payment of $7.3 million from the Purchaser to settle this post-closing working capital adjustment. Proceeds from the divestiture of KCR were ~~$48.3~~$55.6 million, net of transaction costs, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012.

We expect to continue to selectively invest in our infrastructure in order to support the expected future growth in our business. Kforce believes it has sufficient cash and availability under its Credit Facility to make any expected necessary capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. In addition, we continually review our portfolio of businesses and their operations in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses and further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce repurchased $25.4 million of common stock, which included open market repurchases of common stock ~~were~~of approximately ~~$0.8~~$9.9 million and repurchases of common stock attributable to shares withheld for statutory minimum tax withholding requirements pertaining to the vesting of restricted stock awards ~~were~~of approximately $15.5 ~~million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.~~million.

The maximum borrowings available to Kforce under the Credit Facility are limited to: (a) a revolving credit facility of up to $100 million (the “Revolving Loan Amount”) and (b) a $15 million sub-limit included in the Credit Facility for letters of credit.

Borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is limited to the remainder of (a) the lesser of (i) $100.0 million minus the four week average aggregate weekly payroll of employees assigned to work for customers, or (ii) 85% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable, plus 80% of the net amount of eligible unbilled accounts receivable, plus 80% of the net amount of eligible employee placement accounts, minus certain minimum availability reserves, and in either case, minus (b) the aggregate outstanding amount under the Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Amount bear interest at a rate of (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on various factors or (b) the higher of: (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (iii) LIBOR plus 1.00%. Fluctuations in the ratio of unbilled to billed receivables could result in material changes to availability from time to time. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility require Kforce to pay a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the amount of each letter of credit issued plus, plus a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans based on the total letters of credit outstanding. To the extent that Kforce has unused availability under the Credit Facility, an unused line fee is required to be paid equal to the applicable margin times the amount by which the maximum revolver amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of the revolving loans and the average daily undrawn face amount of outstanding letters of credit during the immediate preceding month. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Kforce and its subsidiaries, excluding the real estate located at the Kforce’s corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida. Under the Credit Facility, Kforce is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants including (but not limited to) the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio if the Firm’s availability under the Credit Facility is less than the greater of 10% of the aggregate amount of the commitment of all of the lenders under the Credit Facility and $11.0 million. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce had availability under the Credit Facility in excess of the minimum requirement; therefore, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 was not applicable. Kforce believes that it will be able to maintain the minimum availability requirement; however, in the event that Kforce is unable to do so, Kforce could fail the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, which would constitute an event of default. The Credit Facility expires September 20, 2016.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, there were ~~$11.0~~no outstanding borrowings and ~~$75.0~~$85.9 million was available under the Credit Facility. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, maximum outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were ~~$30.4~~$6.6 million. As of ~~August 2,~~October 31, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings and ~~$86.2~~$85.6 million was available under the Credit Facility.

Kforce provides letters of credit to certain vendors in lieu of cash deposits. At ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce had letters of credit outstanding for workers’ compensation and other insurance coverage totaling $3.4 million and for facility lease deposits totaling $0.3 million. Kforce does not have any additional off-balance sheet arrangements that have had, or are expected to have, a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2011, $84.2 million of the Board-authorized $150.0 million common stock repurchase program remained available for future repurchases. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, Kforce repurchased approximately ~~1.1~~1.9 million shares of common stock attributable to open market repurchases and shares withheld for statutory minimum tax withholding requirements pertaining to the vesting of restricted stock awards at a total cost of approximately ~~$16.3~~$25.4 million. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, ~~$67.9~~$58.8 million remains available for future repurchases.

In addition to the risks inherent in its operations, Kforce is exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. The sensitivity analysis presented below for our Credit Facility is based on a 10% change in interest rates. This change is a hypothetical scenario and is used to calibrate potential risk and does not represent our view of future market changes.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, ~~we had $11.0 million~~there were no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. Our weighted average effective interest rate on our Credit Facility was ~~2.3%~~0% at ~~June~~September 30, 2012. ~~A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates in effect at June 30, 2012 would not have any significant effect on Kforce’s annual interest expense.~~

We do not believe that we have a material exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies because our international operations represented approximately 2% of net service revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2012, and because our international operations’ functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. However, we will continue to assess the impact that currency fluctuations could have on our operations going forward.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”). Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.

Management has evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the evaluation we conducted, management has concluded that no such changes have occurred.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

As disclosed in our previous filings with the SEC, on June 6, 2011, the Chicago District Office of the EEOC issued a Determination on a Charge of Discrimination, brought by an individual in 2006, that reasonable cause exists to believe that Kforce discriminated against two classes of individuals because of their age, and, Kforce and the EEOC were engaged in conciliation efforts. On September 4, 2012, Kforce and the EEOC agreed upon a settlement payment of $1.7 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Kforce paid $0.4 million of the settlement and paid the remaining amount of $1.3 million in October 2012. A total of $1.4 million was accrued within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. An insurance recovery of approximately $1.0 million was received by the Firm associated with this loss during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

We are not aware of any new legal proceedings that we believe are likely to have a material adverse impact on Kforce, or other material developments with respect to existing legal proceedings, that occurred during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2012.~~2012

~~Set forth below are the~~There have been no material changes ~~and updates from, and should be read~~ in ~~conjunction with,~~ the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our year ended December 31, ~~2011.~~

~~We are Dependent Upon the Ability of Government Agencies to Administratively Manage~~2011, as updated by those disclosed in our ~~Contracts.~~

~~After we are awarded a contract and the contract is funded by the Federal Government, we are still dependent upon the ability of the relevant agency to administratively manage~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our contract. We have been adversely impacted by significant delays in the start-up of already awarded and funded projects, which we believe are due to the acute shortages of acquisition and contracting personnel within the Federal Government agencies.
